The next time I wake, my head is clear and my limbs don't feel as heavy. I crack my eyes open to see Ellery passed out in a chair beside me, his lips slightly parted. Just seeing him makes me feel calmer. Safer. After all, he saved my life. Saved my life at the cost of letting the guy he's been stalking for a century get away. I don't deserve that. I get to my feet, my vision spinning for a moment before settling. I need water. The walk to the dresser feels like a mile. By the time I get there, I'm exhausted enough that I have to lean against the wood while I drink my prize.

"You're not supposed to be up."

I jump, spilling water all over myself. He's at my side in an instant, taking the glass from my hands and setting it down back down. He scoops me easily into his arms. I'd protest, but my legs are about to give out. I swing an arm around his shoulders, holding myself to him. He sets me down on the bed, and I pull him with me. He doesn't want this to be more than a fling. I don't either. But right now I just need human- or human-ish- contact. And he doesn't protest. He wraps his arm around my chest and presses his body against my back. I sigh with audible relief.

"I thought you were going to die," he says, some strange emotion, a deeper feeling than usual in his voice.

"So did I," I admit, pulling him closer. He holds me too gingerly, like I'll fall apart if he hugs me too hard. I tug at his arms until they tighten. "I think I would have died. You saved me."

"I roped you into this mess. And I was the idiot that left you alone with the back of the house unprotected. I underestimated him. And I wasn't going to just watch you die." His body is cool against mine, comforting. Every instinct in my body is screaming with joy. And just for now, I let them. Maybe there are still drugs in my system, or maybe Ellery's just intoxicating. I don't care.

"Is it weird that it turns me on? You saving my life?"

"Absolutely," he murmurs against my neck. "But I have to say seeing you like this- actually accepting help and acting like you want an alpha around- it's intoxicating." I shiver, wiggling back against him. He's half-hard already. "But I'm afraid if I have sex with you right now, I'll kill you. So you're going to have to learn to be patient for a few days."

"No."

"Yes." He holds me still until I stop struggling. I groan with frustration so loudly that he laughs, his chest shaking wildly against my back. Even the few motions make me feel nauseous. Maybe he's right after all.
